Capital One

• Good Salary
• Good Benefits
• Modern Tech (mostly)

• No stock options.
• Performance management is ridiculous. Every six months, you get "stack ranked" against all the other associates at your level in your org, and the bottom X% (I've heard anywhere from 7-15%) get PIP'ed.

Even if you're in a high-performing org, they have to cut a certain number of people by mandate. It's terrible for morale and causes a lot of unnecessary stress, and often ends up forcing out good people.

They also won't account for personal circumstances at all, so if you have a major medical issue for one performance period, well... good luck.

Get rid of stack ranks, or at least reduce it to once a year and a lower percentage. It's good to cut the lowest performers; they definitely exist, but the current system results in good people getting axed for no reason. This company acts like it’s Big Tech but doesn’t offer Big Tech compensation.
